Sorry, I haven't checked my PLUG folder in a while :-) The above does

The only thing I can think of is that perhaps Mozilla wasn't properly
configured. You mentioned that you told it to use the SOCKS4 proxy on
localhost port 9000 for all protocols, but I'm not entirely sure what you
mean? In the proxy configuration screen, the only hostname that should be
listed is that of the SOCKS proxy; the HTTP, SSL, FTP, and Gopher proxies
should all be left blank. Here's a screenshot of what my configuration
looks like:
